Fascinating fish at the Rain Forest Cafe at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California

Jenna was the first to notice this fish and its attraction to the bubbles in the tank which was behind me, over my right shoulder. She called our attention to it, and soon Sharon and I were just as fascinated with its antics. We watched the fish swim around the tank, return to the bubbles, play for a while, then repeat the entire process, over and over. See what I mean? It was like the fish was standing on its head. In this photo, the fish is at the top of the bubbles, and another unique one is swimming by--reminds me of Bob Hope! Behind Sharon and Jenna I had a great view of another fish tank. The slowly moving fish kept me looking and looking. Look at the variety--speckled fish, yellow fish, blue fish with reddish markings, orange and blue fish, silver fish. Seeing them was a colorful treat.

Two of my favorite things about Portland and the folk(s) that live here.

You've got your purple glitter hat in your car with you at all times because wearing such finery serves you well at any given moment. You're a Portlander who is allowed to be yourself by your fellow Portlanders--one of my favorite things about Portland.



You've got your fish and your moose hanging from your rear view mirror and standing on your dash, in honor of the nearby wilderness, easily and quickly reached in said vehicle--another of my favorite things about Portland.




What's really neat is that it's totally conceivable that the person wearing the purple glitter hat on Friday night could be out hiking the wilderness on Sunday morning.
